YCCA, located in Philadelphia, is a creative arts EARLY CHILDHOOD center for preschool children.
Young Children’s Center for the Arts, Inc. is a nonprofit, licensed, nonsectarian childcare facility that has served the needs of more than 5,000 people in our Philadelphia community since 1987. Our diverse population represents children from every neighborhood throughout Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs.

OUR MISSION
- Enrich the lives of children from twelve months through kindergarten through participation in the creative and fine arts. We accomplish this by:
- Providing a structured creative arts curriculum within an enhanced daycare environment.
- Children’s motor, language, emotional and cognitive skills are developed through music, art and movement.
Each time ideas are presented through a different art form, learning becomes reinforced, and children’s expressive abilities are enhanced.
Young Children’s Center for the Arts is one of the few preschool programs in our area that not only accepts, but embraces, children with pervasive developmental disabilities in an inclusion program.
YCCA offers both full-time and part-time preschool programs.
YCCA and YCCAon2 follow the PA Department of Human Services regulations.
